GATTAI!

Doitsu is so tsundere!

Uncomfortable with the “F” word ?

Across the German political spectrum, and among the nation’s business and banking community, pressure is growing for “more Europe” as the answer to the plight of the eurozone.

The trouble is that Germany – the largest net contributor to the EU budget, the biggest single guarantor of eurozone rescue plans, and the motor of the European economy – seems to be way out in front of its partners in such thinking.

The Netherlands and Finland are worried that Germany, with France, wants more “intergovernmental” deals, weakening the European Commission and parliament. Paris says it backs Berlin, but in practice is much more hesitant. Ireland – where referendums are required for any treaty change – is openly hostile.

One comment on “GATTAI!”

  1. If Germany and France wasn’t in EU Poland would be looking like Ukraine … and Ukraine looks like Poland from 1980′. It’s not like Germany and France they have any money, they just want to live above any other country in Europe, They’re average retirement is a lot higher than average earning in east countries. I get mad when i hear that the lowest retirement in Germany is comparable with all my family’s earnings.
    It’s just that there are rich countries like France, Germany, Great Britain and Sweden and there are extremly indebted countries like Greece and Italy. That is what EU was supposed to do, making countries in EU more equal and they joined it with that in mind.
    And of course my poor English is getting in the way of expressing myself ;p
